Efreet Custom Part 1

This project begins at the build gathering since I didn’t have any motivation on the ν project so seeing Angel break out his Efreet conversion kit and a suggestion of a challenge, I pulled my Efreet Custom kit from the shelves. After finding the correct frame parts using an MG Gouf Custom that was long cannibalized for parts the kit was roughly sanded and test fitted with super glue as quick tack points and sticky tack to hold other parts together. I finished putting the thing together by the end of the build gathering and snapped a few quick shots with the camera phone.

Catching Up

Continuing from the previous post, I had just returned from Colorado Springs. Just in time for Pasadena Modeler’s Society’s annual model contest Valley Con. A couple of the TGG guys clad in our blue t-shirts attended this event. I had missed this show last year, and as a group, we needed some sort of representation at this event to at least pass out some flyers and get some face time among the other local model groups. A day after the show, I headed out to Miami, three days after getting back from Miami, I headed out to Chile with a end cap visit to Laredo Texas; and then there was the March build gathering for which I started up on Efreet Custom Conversion kit since Angel was working on an Efreet conversion kit.

Details and all that happy crap after the jump.
